Abstract. High genetic diversity in teak species causes problems in identifying the individuals.
To identify the characteristics of the individuals, an identification system using
morphophysiological analyses for Teak is needed. This study was aimed to identify the
morphological and physiological differences between three different teak provenances, i.e.,
Cepu, Sidrap, and Bau-bau provenances. The research was carried out by observing
morphological characteristics, i.e., leaf characteristics (color, shape, venation pattern, margin,
base, tip, and surface texture) and tree characteristics (height and diameter), and physiological
characteristics (leaf area, chlorophyll content, and leaf water content). There were five leaf colors
observed in the analysis (green- brownish, green-yellowish, green, dark green, and green with
yellow spots). Leaf shapes were divided into two shape types, i.e., widened ellipse and inverted
oval. Flat leaf margin, tapered leaf tip, and base, rough surface texture, pinnate venation pattern
were observed on all evaluated leaves. Height and diameter of trees were higher in Bau-bau
provenance than other provenances. Leaf area was affected by provenance but not leaf position
in provenance. Chlorophyll content was affected by both provenance and leaf position, whereas
water content was only affected by leaf position in provenance.
1. Introduction
Teak has a significant contribution in supplying raw wood materials. It has not only high wood quality
and economic value but also superior characteristics that already well known. Due to producing durable
and strong wood quality, many parties (government, private sectors, community, and industry) have
been cultivating this species [1]
Hundreds of teak species that having various traits (superior and inferior) have been distributed in
Indonesians’ regions. The high number of teak species becomes the restriction in distinguishing among
teak individuals. For identifying each teak genotype, both skill and experience are needed. Therefore,
an identification method for teak needs to be developed. Stem, leaf, fruit, and flower are commonly used
for morphological identification [2], while physiological identification uses chlorophyll content, the
conductivity of stomata, the diameter of the stem, plant height, and number of leaves [3]
The phenotype is a character (structural, biochemical, physiological or behavioral character) that can
be observed on an organism that controlled by genotype, environment, and interaction between them.
The definition of phenotype encompasses a number of phases in gene expression of an organism. In the
organism level, the phenotype is determined by genotype and environment and widely known in the

form of P = G + E. Phenotypic observation can be applied with only a simple observation (such as,
flower color) up to complex observation that requires specific method and tools. Nonetheless, as gene
expression of a genotype is gradual from molecular to individual levels, the correlation between
phenotypes often detects in the different phases. Phenotype, particularly quantitative trait, is controlled
by multiple genes [4]
Very high genetic diversity was previously reported in Teak (Tectona grandis Linn. f.) stands from
different provenances in Southeast Sulawesi that collected from genetic resource area of Sulawesi BPTH
based on Microsatellite marker [5] Equivalent to that finding, she assumed that in those populations the
diversity of phenotype was also high. The correlation between high genetic diversity and phenotype of
teak has not been previously studied, though, it is crucial for teak breeding strategy.
This study was aimed to identify the morphological and physiological characteristics of teak from East
Java (Cepu), South Sulawesi (Sidrap), and Southeast Sulawesi (Bau-bau). Such information would be
beneficial to complement the genetic data owned by Sulawesi BPTH for developing the genetic resource
area of Sulawesi BPTH.

in Complete Randomized Design (CRD) with Nested pattern consisted of two factors with 30
replications. The first factor was provenances and the second one was leaf position at the tree (top,
middle, and base). Quantitative data were analyzed using F test and followed by post-hoc HSD
(Honestly Significant Difference) (when F test p-value < 0.05). Data were analyzed using R statistics
(R core team).

Table 1 presents most of the leaf color from Cepu, Sidrap, and Bau-bau at the top of the tree were
green, it was shown on 18, 14, and 14 leaves of 30 observed leaves, respectively. Stated young leaf color
of teak was green-brownish. In contrast to [6], this study observed that leaf color at the top was green
as the collected leaves were not from the tip of the tree crown but at the 21st leaf from the tree base.
Leaves color from Cepu and Bau-bau located at the middle of the tree were green, 19 and 13 of 30
leaves, respectively. Whereas that of from Sidrap was dark green (11 leaves). These were similar to a
previous study [7] that described green as teaks’ leaf color.
Most of the leaves that located at the base of the tree from Cepu, Sidrap, and Bau-bau provenances
were green with yellow spots (13, 14, and 25 leaves of 30 leaves, respectively). Contrary to [6] study,
he informed that the color of adult teaks’ leaves was green-greyish. Here, the observed trees already
shed their leaves that located at the tree base, and thus it was followed by color changing on the leaf.
Water supply is vital in the photosynthesis process. Decreasing water supply will restrict photosynthesis,
and consequently, the water keeps evaporating and reduces chlorophyll content in the leaf. Later, the
leaf color was changed to yellow-brownish and eventually shed [8].
Younger leaves have greener color than the older ones. It is linked to nutrients which distributed to
the leaf. Older leaf tends to receive more nutrients, as consequently having more chlorophyll and darker
color than the younger ones [8]. A variation on leaf color indicates a variety of pigment types composed
in the leaf. Chlorophyll in the young leaf is in the form of protochlorophyll, and its color changes after
protochlorophyll transformation [9].

Table 2 depicts that leaf shape on all samples from Cepu and Sidrap provenances located at the top,
middle, and base of the evaluated trees were widened ellipse, whereas that of from Bau-bau provenance
was divided into two groups, widened ellipse (18 trees) and inverted oval (12 trees). These results were
supported by Dahana and [10] who stated leaf of teak has either widened ellipse or inverted oval. The
variation in leaf shape from Bau-bau provenance is assumed due to the unexpected mixing in plant
materials (with other provenances) during planting

Table 3 describes leaf tip and base from all provenances at top, middle, and base of the trees had a
tapered tip and base and flat margin. These descriptions were identic [11], [12] who reported that leaf
of teak has a tapered tip and base and flat at the leaf margin.
All leaf samples in the evaluated provenances had rough surface texture and pinnate venation. These
were supported [12]. They stated that teaks’ leaf has pinnate venation and rough surface texture.

Figure 1-3 shows the frequency distributions of the tree height. The highest frequency of tree height
in Cepu provenance was 2.3 - 4.4 which was the lowest level in the distribution class. While, the highest
frequency in Sidrap and Bau-bau provenance were in the class of 4.1 – 5.8 and 3.9 – 4.7, respectively,
where both were the moderate class of tree height. Bau-bau provenance had a higher height than other
provenances that could be seen by having more individuals number in the higher class.

Chlorophyll content in evaluated leaves was affected by provenance and location in provenance
(table 9). According to [16] chlorophyll content can be measured by greenness level of the leaf: the
greener of a leaf, the higher chlorophyll content in it. Observation on leaf collecting location depicted
that leaves at the base of the tree had higher chlorophyll content that other locations as consequently the
chlorophyll content was indeed affected by provenance and location in provenance. The post-hoc test
also showed chlorophyll content from Cepu provenance differed from Sidrap and Bau-bau provenance.
Whereas, that of from Sidrap provenance did not differ from Bau-bau provenance. The previous study
[5] in the same populations stated the high genetic diversity could influence chlorophyll content
containing in leaves so that the chlorophyll contents were different between provenances.

reduce chlorophyll production and nutrient distribution, and eventually only carotenoid and anthocyanin
left. This situation will induce color-changing on leaves to orange, yellow-reddish, or purple. Leaves
located at base of the tree will be shed thus the leaf weight becomes lighter and affects the water content.
4. Discussion
Morphological analysis in Cepu, Sidrap, and Bau-bau provenances on leaf color were divided into five,
green-brownish, green-yellowish, green, dark green, and green with yellow spots. Most of leaf shapes
were widened ellipse, except on some leaves in Bau-bau provenances that having inverted oval. All
observed leaf samples had flat margin, tapered tip and base, rough texture, and pinnate venation. Tree
height and diameter were higher in Bau-bau provenance than other provenances. Physiological analysis
on leaf area was affected by provenance but not by leaf collecting position. Chlorophyll content was
affected by both provenance and collecting position. Meanwhile, water content was not affected by
provenance, but by collecting position
5. Conclusion
1. Freshness indicator of mango fruit can be produced by utilizing bacterial cellulose from Acetobakter
xilinum which then soaked with bromophenol blue solution.
2. Profile of colour change on the freshness indicator of mango arummanis showed the change of colour
from dark blue indicating fresh fruit, light blue is firm and green colour indicates the fruit has been
rotten
